Narrow Escape.

This morning, while n. D. Shane,
who lives south of town near the river,
was crossing the U. P. railroad on
Cedar street, freight train struck the
rear of his wagon, throwing Mr.. Shane
out and standing him on his head. He
was badly bruised. and his right leg be-
tween tie knee and hip, and his left
shoulder were badly hurt. The wagon
escaped with only one wheel broken.
This is another case of carelessness
on the part of the railroad company,
and should be seen to by our city faith
ers. The day is not far distant when
someone Will be killed because of this
neglect. Such dangerous crossings as
the one on Buckeye and that on Cedar
shou Id be guarded, but we presume
nothing will be done to prevent the
loss of life until someone gets killed.
Hardly a day passes but somebody has
a narrow escape, and unless steps are
taken imme, 1iately to prevent such ac-
cidents, we Will be under the painful
necessity of chronicling someone's
death brought ABOUT in this way.

Chapman Chips.

Last Tuesday evening our young
folks played Ely O'Connor to fair
audience. Kings band composed the
orchestra and the Skiddy brass band
did some good outside playing. The
net proceeds of the play go towards the
purchase of bell for the Congrega-
tionalist church. The drama was well
rendered and several of the players
ELECTED much favorable comment. On
the whole it was much better than on
the first evening. 1t is to be hoped the
company will give several more enter
tainments during the coming winter
months.
The Catholic fair and festival on
Wednesday evening was a success in
many respects. There was a bounte-
Gus supper and a grand dance to close
the entertainment. The net proceeds
were S234.SS. The attendance was
large, and those present had a merry
time. Mrs. Lundrigan won the capital
prize, the fine heifer, and Mrs. Geo.
Scherer won the silver butter dish.
Mrs. j. E. Snyder won the elegant
vases, aid several other lucky ones
were nicely rewarded for their invest
ments. Everything passed off in
highly satisfactory manner, and it may
be said that our Catholic citizens never
fail to have a grand time at any of
their fairs or festivals.
The members of the NJ. E. church
gave a fine supper and ''social" on
Thanksgiving evening. A brass band
from Hiawatha was in attendance and
enlivened the occasion with some eX-
cellent music. A large number at
tended and enjoyed an old fashioned
Thanksgiving supper, and the subse-
quent entertainment was not only very
but productive of many extra
dollars for the benefit of the treasury
of that church.
The regular ''social'' of the members
of the CongregatiOnalist church was
held last evening and was a pleasant
and agreeable affair. These church
socials are getting to be well attended
and one can be sure of an sgreeable
evening if they are present.
Chas. F. Masch has rented the
creamery for one year. He is to take

OF the Track.

The Salina train on the Santa Fe,
pulled by engine No. 597, and guided
by engineer Strahan, flew the track at
$50 this morning at the point where
the Salina and Manchester branches
meet, about 80 rods west OF the Santa
Fe depot. Through somebody's care
lessneSs the switch was left open, and
Mr.. Strahan not knowing this, run the
whole train off The track. The cars
and engine ran along distance Of
about $50 feet, with the right hand side
wheels on the south side Of the track
and the left hand wheels between the
two tracks. There is no telling how
far they would have gone this way, had
it not been for the pine ties which were
used in laying the switch to the stock
yards at that point, where the pCndrOus
wheels of the engine broke through,
and the wheels on the outside of the
track sank deep into the earth, almost
overthTowing the engine. The train
must have been moving rapidly, as the
motion was not stopped until the en-
gIne had run about % feet after break
ing through the ties ON one side and
blowing the earth to depth Of Is in
ches on the other. Not wheel on the
entire train remained on the track. No
serious injury was done, but we have
an idea the switch will not be left open
again very soon.

are free to say that no better time has
been had at any dance in our city.
There was nothing to disturb the prog

interruption took place at 11:45, and
nearly everyone present took advantage
of the opportunity to fill up.

MIR. Baskin was in Abilene Wednes-
day.
The G.. A. r. Camp Fire on Thanks
giving eve was a pronounced success,
as large audience assembled to listen
to the stories by the veterans. The
speeches were full of wit, pathos and
eloquence. Some of them manifested
much skill in presenting the salient
points of story, others showed much
originality, others a keen sense of the
ridiculous, even in the midst of most
disheartening circumstances. Only one
who has been in the field can fully re-
alize the privations endured and the
sufferings experienced. The singing
passed from the sublime to the ridic-
ulous. The Misses johnson, Hall,
Ewing, Jacoby, McClosky, and Mr.. E.
N. King sang several songs. The pro.
gram was long, but spicy. After the
song. .sThere's hole in the bottom OF
the sea" by the G.. A. R., the audience
gathered in the room below and Toasted
on baked beans. Post Commander
Sheahan presided and in way thai
often called out an applause from the
audience. The old soldiers can Ger

The speaker proceeded to show in how
many ways God has most signally
blessed this nation, in wealth, in lib
erty, in freedom of conscience, and in
moral, religious and educational anvan-
tages. He did not take a pessimistic
but an optimistic view of the present
condition of things. The appeal for
an undying loyalty to the stars and
stripes found ready response in the
minds of the audience. The attendance
was good, as was also the union prayer
meeting in the evening.
